across the glacier after suffering two
losses in a row the military team Grady
Rudy and Jared is anxious to get another
win finding a way off this unfamiliar
icy terrain is their first priority we
want to jump in we started encountering
crevasse and terrain I’d never
experienced before we don’t have nearly
the experience of glacier work did the
endurance team and the mountaineering
team they have a lot of skill lots of
experience and this land itself is the
enemy
they’ll head straight for the jagged
foothills on the far side of the glacier
and continue on dry land from there the
glaciers scare me
there’s no food there’s no fuel full of
danger but at the end of the day I think
that we can take this route faster than
any other route chosen by any other team
snowshoes we know the drill
plate roof up – uh-huh
we’re gonna be going over some dicey
terrain there’s danger of crevasse we’re
getting out snowshoes trekking poles
we’ve got our rope out as well
to clip in with the harnesses if any one
of us goes in the other two need to be
able to arrest the fall and then pull
them out this is once you get the hang
of it it’s actually really easy to walk
in them and right here we’ve got a helo
elevator it’s gonna work real well in
this terrain I’m pretty much straight up
so I’ll lift that up and it’ll consider
walking on an angle like this it’ll feel
like I’m walking on that to reach the
foothills they’ll hike up and over the
crest of the glacier
scale of one to ten this is probably a
good and this is just the beginning
glaciers form when snow accumulates and
never completely mounts over many
decades the snow compresses into a block
of ice that can grow over a mile thick
the only muster up like ten steps at a
time
got some telltale signs of crevasses up
here yeah I’ll keep my eyes open
we’re cruising baby
